I disagree. I've been talking to my classmates about FIRST for a few months, and during build season I'd mention stuff about Overdrive and Rack and Roll, and it would take people awhile to get it. Overdrive wasn't so bad, but Rack and Roll's grid system wasn't spectator friendly.
When I showed people Lunacy it was a lot simpler. I could basically say "well, it's like basketball with hoops called "trailers" behind each robot. 6 humans try to shoot balls in the trailers, and robots can either get balls from humans or pick up missed shots to score on opponents. There's a special ball that can be brought to the corner to activate a green ball worth more points". Then they'd get it.
My parents when watching Lunacy matches knew what was going on without having to ask any questions other than "what's the green ball do".
